Pay-As-You-Go<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Pay for each course, one at a time, as you take them.
<\/strong>AOEU has designed its program to be flexible and convenient so that you can break up the payments as much as you need to within the 2-5 years of the degree. Pace your coursework and take courses when it makes sense with your finances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n


You may choose to register for a course in advance and spread out the tuition payment as much as you\u2019d like up until when they are due in full at the course start date. For example, if you register in July for a course that starts in September, you could put $425 towards it now, another $425 in August, and then the remaining $425 by the course start date in September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n

Private Education Loans<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Do your research!
<\/strong>A private educational loan can help you graduate faster or pay a smaller monthly payment. Unlike the pay-as-you-go model, you will accrue interest to pay. But for some students, the tradeoff is well worth it. When taking on debt, here are a few things you should keep in mind as you consider your options:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
